Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium -Monday May 1st, 2:30 pm

SIX! James Faulkner to Daniel Christian. Length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Dan Christian finishes off the game in style. He gets one in the slot and dispatches it over cow corner for six.

A brilliant game of cricket. Gujarat were restricted to 162 after a rapid start with the bat. Pune got off to a horrific start to the chase, being 42-4 after 5.3 overs. Ben Stokes then single-handendly won the game for his side though. A maiden T20 hundred shows his worth.
